Sunset Group Ryde Northern Lake County…

wisconsin-sunset-on-the-county-road.jpg

Due to summer being upon us and our wonderful HOT summer weather we are going to kick-off a series of evening rydes. Our first ryde will be a sunset lite ryde around some of northern areas of Lake Country. 

Our meet up place will be at PizzAmore in Mt. Dora (see below for the address and link to their website).  After dinner (around 7:30 pm) we will tour some of the country roads of Northern Lake County for about 100 miles of fun and curves before we end up at Twistee Treats in Tavares for a sweet cold treat; besides what is a little summer fun without a little Soft Serve Ice Cream? 

There are no fill-up stations along the route so make sure you top off your Spyder before stopping for dinner. If you are interested in joining, please sign-up so that we can make the correct reservation as PizzAmore’s fills fast on the weekends for dinner.

The BIG Florida Ryde - May 13th and 14th

During this statewide two day ryde we will visit with some of the finest Can Am Dealers in the State of Florida. Our journey will begin at Central Florida Powersports in Kissimmee, FL and end at Route One Motorsports in Grant, FL. Our overnight will be in the Fort Myers FL area.

We will travel as far north as Ocala and as far south as Miami. Our purpose will be to raise awareness of the Can Am Dealers and to call attention to them and the Can Am Spyder Brand as we travel together around the state. The full two day journey will be an interesting combination of all different types of roads and scenery. You may wish to ryde with us the entire trip or only meet up and ryde a single or more link along the way, whatever works best for you.

We know that work schedules may stop many of you from joining for the entire trip, but we truly hope that you will join us somewhere along the way. Below is our approximate schedule as to when we will arrive and depart at each dealership so that you will have many options to join the group.

For each 100 miles you complete of this ryde you will receive an entry into the May drawing for $500 of Can Am Parts & Accessories. With ten stops along the way, meals and an overnight we will really have time to get to know each other and form new friendships and pick up new
ryde buddies.

Hope to see you on the Road.
